videos of talented young horses

[kip]

I am curious to see if anyone has any links to videos of horses that have been very successful in the young horse classes. I would really love to see some good examples of what judges see as exceptional.

Here's the 5yo winner this year at Verden (the world championships) with a clip of the 6yo winner at the end:

I think the first ride on this tape is absolutely superb:

Here's a horse who placed 22nd at Verden this year: (doesn't say what age, that I caught at least):

JJ Tate representing the US at the 2007 championships on a 6yo:

Couldn't find that many videos of the winners, and couldn't find any of US Natl Champions. Maybe I'm just not that good at the youtube search :)

I think Waterloo S. E. who won the 4-year old championships in Kentucky last year is on Youtube... Just search for his name. Now he's only 3 in the video there, but you will get an idea of his gaits.

enjoy!

Waterloo is lovely! I'd love to have him in my barn!

Congrats, Siegi! Your boy is beautiful :)

Me too ;)

[siegi b.]

Well, thanks you guys.... :-) I thought he was pretty special, too. I now have his full brother who just won No. 1 foal at the Hedgeland keuring and I think he's going to be even better than his big brother. He's certainly prettier... :-) When I get the video clips from the keuring I will try to post them on Youtube as well.

[Bellfleur]

They are both stunning. Congrats Siegi!! You have some really incredible horses!

If you go to www.clipmyhorse.com , you can watch all of the young horses from the Bundeschampionate last weekend in Germany.

Wow, congratulations on the Keuring results!! I am sorry I could not make it to watch.

siegi b and some of the other breeders on these BBs really have a LOT to be proud of--their stock is as good as anything out there in Europe.

Other sites for young horse include www.horse-gate.com, all the verbands, including
www.oldenburghorse.com (the webmaster also posts here) which has right now fabulous foals, Bundeschampionat and of course--Quaterback.

ANd if you ask Theo nicely, amk sure he can point you to videos of some incredible Dutch horses.

Yes I can. But these day I am working on the YoungHorse selection from 1980and upwards, and I hope you don't mind my statement that many of these youngsters never made it to the top in competition or breeding.

[canyonoak]

Well, most youngsters don't make it to the top in competition or breeding, whether or not they get a public start to their careers, ha ha.

Not to highjack this thread...but...everyone says that the horses and the riding have improved so much, yadda-yadda, and yet if one looks back at the last Olympics, approximately 22-25% get 70 or better in the GP. Pretty consistently. Over many years.

So it doesnt look like the riding or the horses are improving that much,eh?
